to put it Bluntly, this is about Fair Treatment between AI image creators and 3D modelers, as things that can apply to BOTH parties are only being enforced against one, the 3D modelling community.  It seems since people only read the title that explaining this further was needed.  this IS an ultimatum, either Inkbunny needs to ban Ai generated imagery for the same reasons they are wiping the galleries of 3D modelers, since said reasoning can apply, OR, they can give modelers back their rights to model as they were, without the unnecessary overreach of their rules, which i explain below.

So, the art platform known as Inkbunny has decided to attack 3D modellers under the new rule change of "

Rendering
Uniqueness
As with photography, unlimited 3D rendering can result in a multitude of submissions from different members depicting essentially the same characters in similar scenarios, modelled the exact same way.

3D renders are therefore only permitted where they depict at least one unique or materially customised 3D model that is either your own creation, or created specifically for you, constituting a focal point of the work – regardless of any payments made or permission to use the models concerned.

"Unique or materially customised" creations cannot merely be accessorized or pre-configured shapes of standard avatars, models, templates, etc that come with the rendering software or that you acquired from other creators.

Posting original retextures, remeshes, etc. of existing models is permitted and constitutes "unique" work, provided you are authorized to modify the models, and the work otherwise complies with all other rules.

When displaying models that are not primarily your own creation, please limit submissions containing the same rendered scene to no more than six files, which should be published within a single submission (using "Add another file/page", "Edit Files/Thumbs", or a single submission, multi-file bulk upload). A submission featuring static images should depict no more than three angles of the same or substantially similar scene.

Attribution
In general, derivative works posted to Inkbunny require both permission – which for reusable components may be implied by purchase – and credit, regardless of purchase. Providing credit also furthers the creative ecosystem.

Therefore, each focal model in a 3D render must be attributed to its author (including yourself) or source, ideally with a link, along with a brief description of any work you did to customise it. If a model is comprised of assets from multiple sources, all constituent parts must be credited. Other licensed content must be attributed as required by its terms.

This data may be provided externally, e.g. in a linked submission or journal covering all resources used in your work, as long as the resources used for each submission are clearly identified and their attribution remains available for the lifetime of the submission.

 
For example, if your character was interacting with a vending machine in a forest filled with animals during a blizzard, the main character and vending machine would require attribution; but the trees, animals or snow effect would only require attribution if their license requires it.

Ripping
Models extracted from media without the creator's permission may not be used, regardless of modifications or attribution, as they constitute a derivative work made without permission. "Fan art" of such media should use models resembling original characters rather than copying them wholesale."

under this, Creators who make their own models from scratch SHOULD be safe, but creators who make their own models from scratch HAVE been attacked and wiped from the platform.

 

The AI rules? "

AI
Inkbunny members should be able to share and enjoy AI experiments and knowledge, and benefit from assistance with tedious tasks, while limiting the impact on existing creators and the site, and discouraging proprietary tools or services based on harvesting public work to create a walled garden. Thus, open-source AI tools combined with freely-available models are permitted, with appropriate keywords and limits on excessive or commercial use.

For all AI-generated or AI-assisted content:

You must not post work using tools or services that do not make their code and models freely available for others to reuseThis includes services such as Midjourney, NovelAI, GPT, Copilot and Gemini – if you don't know if it's based on a proprietary model, it probably is
You must not use the names of living or recently-deceased creators (within the last 25 years) or their non-commercial characters as prompts without their permission, nor train models and/or use artist-focused LoRAs to obtain a similar effect
The description must contain all prompts, seeds and LoRAs passed to AI tools and indicate the generator, training model and version or hash usedFor advanced projects that cannot be described in this manner, attach the workflow as an additional JSON or TXT file
If your work is mostly or fully generated by AI:

The work must be tagged with the ai_generated keyword, the name of the tool and model that was used
You must not solicit commissions, donations or paid adoption on InkbunnyPromotion of and direct links to personal monetization efforts for such content are also prohibited
You must use a multi-file submission containing no more than six pieces of work for work generated via the same prompt
If you used an AI tool to assist in the creation of assets or backgrounds for an otherwise manually-created work:

The image must be tagged with the ai_assisted keyword, the name of the tool and model that was used
You must indicate what parts of the work were AI generated in the description
You may sell and offer commissions for content using AI-generated assets or backgroundsYou must notify customers of its use before any sale is agreed or money is sent
If you used an AI tool to produce assisted output from input you created (eg. img2img):

The image must be tagged with the ai_assisted keyword
You must include the original input as part of the submissionWe don't require every subsequent hand-drawn input, but a viewer should understand how the end result was obtained through use of the tools
If initially created in a recorded stream, a link may be helpful
If you used an AI tool to modify your own work, such as frame interpolation or upscaling:

You must include the original input as part of the submission or as a scrap
No extra sale restrictions or keyword requirements apply"

THESE policies for AI image generators are NOT enforced, ON TOP OF THAT, many AI image generating models that are allowed still train off of works created by other artists without permission from said artists.  IF modelers can be struck down for using models made by other creators even with permission, then why does AI generated content get a pass when they use artwork made by other creators literally all of the time?  

The solution is simple, Either Inkbunny needs to relax their rules on the 3D modelling community instead of targeting every single 3D artist, or they need to modify and ENFORCE their AI generated imagery policies, especially due to how AI content is generated.  

We in the 3D modelling community, and other members of the Inkbunny userbase, will be genuinely greatful if we are even heard about this ordeal.

 

Sincerely, the 3D modelling community.
